Gutters are vital for protecting buildings from water damage. When they are working correctly, they collect precipitation that runs off your roof and allows it to flow safely away from your home. If you notice any physical damage to your gutters or discover they no longer effectively move water away from your home or business, it’s likely time to contact a gutter replacement company.
Gutters sag if they are cluttered with debris. If you are sick of cleaning out your gutters all the time, you may want to ask the Total Roof Solutions team about installing Gutter Guards. Gutter Guards are custom fit to your home and keep debris out of your gutters, which allows for the free flow of drainage and prevents water from spilling over the sides. Gutter Guards are also color matched to maintain the aesthetic you desire.
Gutters that sag despite being clear of leaves, sticks and other clutter typically lack the structural integrity to function as they should. A gradual decrease in your gutter system’s durability is a natural byproduct of its age. If your home or business still has its original gutters decades after it was built, it is probably time for a replacement.
Gutters with cracks and dents will struggle to move water away from your home or business. Breaks will allow water to escape, and dents may create spots where debris can catch and gather. When gutters are bent, the water’s flow becomes disrupted and may cause improper drainage or result in water overflows.
Leaking gutters may not seem like an emergency if they are still draining most of the water. Leaks often occur when gutters have holes after suffering damage or develop gaps in the seams. Gutter leaks are a legitimate concern because a leak in a particular spot could expose a section of the building to moisture. Prolonged leaks, especially heavy ones, can increase the risk for foundation damage and mold growth.
Old-style seamed gutters are more likely to develop leaks or suffer clogs at joints and fasteners. Custom fabricated seamless gutters, such as those installed by Total Roof Solutions, are less likely to experience these types of issues.
If the building’s paint is starting to peel or you notice signs of wood rot or mold, your gutters may have a leak, clog or blockage that’s causing overflows. The experts at Total Roof Solutions will inspect the property before beginning your project to guarantee the problem will be solved by replacing the damaged materials or installing downspout extenders.
Along with draining far enough from the building, the water should drain downhill from the property. Water pooling indicates a flawed drainage system. Solving the problem may be as easy as changing where downspouts are directing gutter drainage. Some projects are more complex and require owners to change the property’s slope by adding or removing topsoil. This problem is more common when a building resides on a large plot of flat land.
Many modern gutters are seamless, which means they are made of large sections of gutter materials that are custom bent to fit the structure. Seamless gutters are less likely to leak than traditional gutters, which are comprised of multiple segments. If you have traditional gutters that always seem to leak, now may be the perfect time to try seamless gutters.
If you are particularly handy or have a lot of confidence, you could try to install your own gutters. While installing your own gutters may save you money, it can be hazardous, and the money and effort you expend will be wasted if your gutter system is not properly installed. As such, many home and business owners choose to hire a team of highly trained gutter installation experts with the tools and knowhow to do the job right the first time around.
